There was a time in Ghana, even with just one TV station and a TV channel that came on at 5:00 pm and signed off at 10:00 pm Ghanaians were entreated to the best TV journalists and newscasters like Vida Koranteng-Asante and others. One could also listen to good music of the polished, variable with added value to Ghanaian life from folks like Mike Eghan and Harriet with her Latin Touch program or Listener’s Choice hour long program at GBC-1 and GBC-2.
Then there was State Films Corporation that aided producers to create and produce Ghana movies. What happened to all those institutions? We have short-sighted dimwits without ideas and ideals who justified the dismantling of every institution, kill or make people disappear all in the name of corruption cleanup exercise but cowardly and hypocritically pursued and got an indemnity clause to be included in the 1992 constitution to protect them for the same vigor they used to probe others.
It is only ignorant fools and their tribal following who can think Ghana is any less corrupt over the last 20 to 30 years than prior to the so-called revolution. In today’s Ghana there is rarely a patronized authentic Ghanaian music yet we have meaningless stars who dare to be see themselves as political party spokespersons. The gods have not failed us; they couldn’t if they tried, we simply failed our gods by being irresponsible, short-sighted and under tribal spell.
